Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you?
1Ngaiani nakaldra woniai munta jurakokaterila? Ngaiani palpani jeribaka jurakokaterini dakani jaura jurangu kara, jurangundru kara ngamalkananto?
2You yourselves are our letter, inscribed on our hearts, known and read by everyone.
2Jura dakani jaura ngaianini nganai, ngaianingu ngarani matja dakana, ninaia kana warupotujeli ngujamai ja warapai.
3It is clear that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
3Jura wondraterina warai, jura Christuni dakani jaura nganai, ngaianini ngamalkijiribanali matja ngankingana, wata marujeli matja dakana, a‐ai, tepia Godaia Jaolali, wata marda pirrapirrani, a‐ai, kana ngaraia pirrapirrani. (Dakani jaura G. D. 12 Trinitatis.)
4Such confidence before God is ours through Christ.
4Jenipara morlalu ngundrana ngaiani ngamalkai Christungundru Godani.
5Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim that anything comes from us, but our competence comes from God.
5Wata ngaiani ngurunguru nganai minakulno ngundrala ngaianingundru muntali, a‐ai, ngaianini ngurungurula Godandru nganai.
6And He has qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
6Nulupini bakana ngaianina ngurunguru ngankana wonti Testamenta marraia ngamalkijiribanietja nganala, wata malkaia, a‐ai, Jaolaia, ngangau malkali nari ngankai, ja Jaolali tepi ngankai.
7Now if the ministry of death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at the face of Moses because of its fleeting glory,
7Naria ngamalkijiribani, nina malkali mardani matja dakana, njiranjirarini ngamalkana wonti, jeruja Israelani kupa ngandandarina wonti Mosini mudla najila nunkani mudlaia njiranjirarinandru, nau mudana wonti;
8will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?
8Worderu morla Jaolaia ngamalkijiribani njiranjirarila nganai?
9For if the ministry of condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry of righteousness!
9Ngangau dikidikibani ngamalkijiribani njiranjirarinani, worderuntja morla talkulaia ngamalkijiribani pirna njiranjirarila nganai.
10Indeed, what was once glorious has no glory now in comparison to the glory that surpasses it.
10Ngangau njiranjirarina panini njiranjirarini nganai nunkangupini njiranjirarini morla pirnandru.
11For if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which endures!
11Ngangau jenipara mina mudai njiranjirarini ngamalkanani, jeruja jenipara nauja milingeru parai morla pirna ngamalkai.
12Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.
12Ngangau ngaiani jenia kalkani ngamalkai, ngaiani manubakupirna nganai.
13We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at the end of what was fading away.
13Ja ngaiani wata Mosili jeribaka, nau katieli mudla nunkani walpadakaterina wonti, Israelani kupali mudani nunkani wata najinanto, nau mudananto;
14But their minds were closed. For to this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant. It has not been lifted, because only in Christ can it be removed.
14Tanani tjuru ngurunguru pantjina wonti; ngangau karari ditjielu naupini kati parai, tanali Testamenta waru warapanani, ja wata tanangundru kutingai, ngangau Christungu naupini mudai.
15And even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.
15A‐ai, karari ditjielu, tanali Moses warapanani, walpadakani tanangu ngarani parai.
16But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
16Tana Kaparani matja karitjinani, Nulia walpadakani tanangundru dukarala nganai.
17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
17Kaparali Jaola nganai; woderi Kaparaia Jaola nganai, naka kurakani parai.
18And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His image with intensifying glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
18Ngaiani pratjana, dukaranaia mudlali Kaparaia njiranjirarini milkitjerini najiai, ngaianina Nulia nunkangupini mudlani karitjimalkala nganai pirnalandru pirnalaia Kaparandru jeribaka, Nauja Jaola nganai.
